In the afternoon, Zhang Linwu, who was dressed in brocade and jade robes, arrived at Tianxianglou in a luxurious carriage with two horses.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Tianxianglou, the three doormen guarding the door saw it, and two immediately greeted it with a smile, and diligently helped pull the horse to chew its head, and one immediately ran inside and reported to the steward of Tianxianglou.

Zhang Linwu is not only the son of the transfer envoy of the three grades, not to mention his noble status, but also a generous hand in Tianxianglou, spending a lot of money, and is a big guest of Tianxianglou.

After getting off the carriage, Zhang Linwu commanded people to bring down the red silk silk, calligraphy and paintings, precious music scores, jewels and silver on the carriage.

These gifts were all intended for Liu Ruye.

Before the gift was completely removed, a bewitching half-aged lady mother rushed out of it with an orchid in her left hand.

Before she walked out of the door, the mother smiled at Zhang Linwu and said, "Oh, it's Zhang Gongzi who is here." ”

Zhang Linwu heard the laughter, turned back, and saluted the mother with a smile: "Mother Chen." ”

That mother is an important person in Tianxianglou, and she is directly in charge of Liu Ruye, so he is so polite.

"Oh, Zhang Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, you are killing me." Mother Chen exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, and hurriedly walked up quickly to help Zhang Linwu.

Zhang Linwu said with a smile: "You are Miss Liu's mother, and you can afford this gift." ”

Mother Chen smiled at Zhang Linwu with a wink: "Giggles, Zhang Gongzi is really affectionate and righteous, he doesn't say anything about visiting every day, and he gives so many gifts." If so, I must be very moved, but I can't make a promise right away! ”

"Hehe, Linwu is indeed very fond of Miss Liu," Zhang Linwu said, "and ask Chen's mother to bother more." ”

"Giggles, don't worry, wrap it up on me!"

The two said and walked together into the Tianxiang Building.

Entering a lavishly decorated living room, where wine, tea and side dishes had already been served, Chen's mother accompanied Zhang Linwu to talk, and sent someone to inform Liu Ru that she was ready to receive distinguished guests.

In the independent small attic where Liu Ru lives, the Liuxiang Building, Liu Ru is already dressed up, and incense is burned in the small hall on the second floor, and fine wine is placed on the desk.

She sat quietly in front of the precious guqin, waiting for Ji Ning's appointment.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps climbing the stairs.

After a while, Xiao Juan, the owner of the footsteps, had already rushed up to the second floor, entered the hall, and gasped and said, "Miss, Miss, Zhang Gongzi is here again, and he has brought many valuable gifts." It is estimated that my mother will soon send someone to inform you to receive Zhang Gongzi. ”

"Help me block it back, and say I'm gone." Liu Ru said directly, "Let him bring things back, I don't want it." ”

"No." Xiaojuan saluted, then exited the hall and went downstairs.

As soon as Xiaojuan went downstairs, the people sent by Chen's mother rushed downstairs to Liuxiang Building.

"My young lady is unwell, and I don't see Mr. Zhang." Xiaojuan said directly, "Also, let Zhang Gongzi bring the gift back, my young lady will not be punished." ”

The maid sent by Chen's mother answered with an "oh", and then turned around and left.

The maid has experienced a lot of such things.

Since Liu Ru is fame, there have been many people who want to see Liu Ru Ye alone, but no one can do it, let alone now that he has become an Oiran and his worth has skyrocketed a lot.

Chen's mother sent someone to inform Liu Ru every time that she was just pretending, lest the distinguished guest think that she had been neglected.

The maid returned and whispered to Chen's mother what Liu Ru meant.

Mother Chen listened and nodded, but the maid retreated.

"Alas, Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry." Chen's mother walked back to Zhang Linwu and said, "If this child's body has not recovered yet. Although she has an opinion about you, her sick body does not allow it. ”

Zhang Linwu was a little disappointed, but he also knew in his heart that it was not so easy to see Liu Ru alone.

Even if Liu Ru was willing to see him alone, Tianxianglou would stop him.

You must know that Liu Ru is the top brand of Tianxiang Building, and it is also an Oiran, how can Tianxiang Lou easily depreciate the value of Liu Ru is cash cow?

He has been running to Tianxianglou for the past few days, just to increase Liu Ru's good impression of him, so that he can be Liu Ruyi's guest in the future.

Just Oiran Dabi, he threw more than 10,000 taels of silver on Liu Ruyi. At such a great cost, he would never allow Liu Ru to escape from the palm of his hand.

Originally, he was full of confidence, but at the celebration banquet, he found that Liu Ru looked at Ji Ning differently, and he was a little indifferent to him, the big financier. This gave him a sense of crisis.

"Hehe, it's fine. Since Miss Liu is unwell, let's take a good rest. He said to Chen's mother, "I also ask Chen's mother to convey sincere greetings to Miss Liu on behalf of Linwu." ”

"Definitely, definitely. I will be sure to convey to this child in detail how much you care about her. Chen's mother said, "She knows that she will be very moved." ”

"Then Linwu took his leave." Zhang Linwu stood up and arched his hand and said.

Chen's mother hurriedly retained her enthusiasm and asked other girls to accompany Zhang Linwu to drink.

However, Zhang Linwu refused.

In fact, he is not a frequent visitor to Qinglou.

In the end, Chen's mother wanted to return Zhang Linwu's gift according to Liu's wishes, but Zhang Linwu also refused.

Finally, Zhang Linwu said to Chen's mother: "Tomorrow Linwu will come to see Miss Liu, and I hope her body will get better as soon as possible." ”

"Zhang Gongzi is really affectionate." Chen's mother said, "Tomorrow's body should be better, maybe I will be able to entertain you in the evening." ”

It turned out that after the Oiran celebration banquet, not only Zhang Linwu met Liu Rus, but also many distinguished guests.

Moreover, Liu Ru also rested for two or three days, and it was time to entertain distinguished guests to earn money for Tianxianglou.

Therefore, Tianxianglou has arranged a banquet for Liu Ru to receive seven or eight "most sincere" guests, including Zhang Linwu.

Zhang Linwu heard the meaning and said, "Linwu will definitely not miss it." ”

Next, Chen's mother personally sent Zhang Linwu out.

After walking out of the gate of Tianxianglou and saying goodbye to Chen's mother, Zhang Linwu boarded his carriage.

He was in the carriage, and the moment his attendant put down the curtain, he accidentally saw a somewhat familiar figure.

"It seems to be Ji Ning's kid?" He couldn't help frowning and thinking.

But the curtain had been completely lowered, and the next moment the carriage had been started, and it was too late for him to see it better.

He shook his head and thought to himself, "Maybe I'm suspicious." Even if he was Ji Ning, Mother Chen would definitely not let Liu Ru see Ji Ning alone. ”

He was not mistaken, that figure was Ji Ning.

Ji Ning happened to go to Tianxianglou at this time, and when Zhang Linwu got into the carriage, Ji Ning just got off the carriage.
